Very pleased to receive overwhelming support at SNP Conference for Glasgow’s plans for a safe drug consumption facility. Reinforces that this idea - which was once radical - is now mainstream. We will keep up pressure on the Home Office.
That can be done without any such facility. Naloxone can be given to such people. No reason to facilitate injecting drugs and maintain addiction

Not as easily. There are over 60 of these facilities worldwide which have not only reduced drug fatalities but increased engagement with treatment. The evidence is overwhelming that this will save lives.

Rarely is evidence overwhelming except when compared to status quo. There are far better solutions whose end point is not maintaining addiction but reducing overdoses. That falls short of how to manage a curable condition, which addiction is.
